Dr. Melody is preparing 30 µg of a new ‘unknown’ Lambda digest (with OgwXI), to be used for her class. She wants to set up a slight overdigestion using 3x the standard amount of restriction enzyme in a total volume of 300 μl, and has the following reagents:
l DNA @ 2 µg / µl
molecular water
10X reaction buffer
OgwXI restriction enzyme @ 5 U / µl
However, Dr. Melody messed up. This was her protocol: 15 μl λ DNA, 30 μl reaction buffer, 37 μl molecular water, 18 μl OgwXI
Which components are correct and which are incorrect?
Do you think this reaction will be successful anyway? Why or why not?
How should the reaction setup be corrected?
Show your calculations to justify your answer.

What is a codon and how do you identify them in a strand of mRNA? There are 64 potential codons for only 20 amino acids. Why does this occur? Why is it also important to know the start codon before determining what a codon would be in a given strand of mRNA? After answering this first part, explain the difference between the DNA template and coding strands and explain how each strand relates to the mRNA strand that is produced?
